Notes

  • Seafood Tip: Do not soak shrimp or fish in this; the acid will cook the protein. Just brush it on during the last few minutes of grilling.
  • Scaling Tip: This recipe is easy to double if you are stocking up for the week. Store the extra portion in a separate container to keep it fresh for another night.
